blueThing
HD-SDI to DVI-I converter
High
quality SD /HD-SDI to DVI-I converter
with audio de-embedder and
IMD/Tally support
blueThing is a compact multi-standard SD/HD-SDI to DVI-I
converter designed to meet the increasing demand for HD/SDI or SD/SDI
monitoring.
It enables HD-SDI or SD-SDI signals
to be viewed using practically any LCD, plasma or projector display, and
also features an audio de-embedder with AES/S-PDIF digital, line analogue,
and headphone audio outputs for audio monitoring.
Incoming signals and output
resolution are auto-sensed to enable ease of use and to ensure accurate
image conformity when viewed on 16:9 and 4:3 screens. The converters’
high-quality spatial and temporal video processing deliver excellent
frame-rate conversion, scaling and de-interlacing, that results in images
having an amazing quality even when used on inexpensive LCD monitors.
blueThing
also incorporates support for an In Monitor Display
(IMD) which enables the insertion of a label and tallies
below the image being viewed for identification
purposes.
By combining these converters with one of Television
Systems Tallyman
®
TM1 or
TM2 controllers you will be able to update the IMD
as the source fed to the converter changes. This IMD functionality is
an essential part of any broadcast or production environment as it easily
enables the source, destination or use of the images being viewed to be
identified.
blueThing's audio
functionality also includes support for varying the audio output delay.
Using this feature you can compensate for the propagation delay through
monitors and projectors to ensure that correct audio and video
synchronisation is maintained. This is essential for maintaining lip
sync in monitoring and presentation environments, and in post-production
environments ensures that both audio and video are edited frame accurately.
But even though we have crammed all
this functionality into one small compact box,
blueThing is very easy
to configure. Either an on-screen display allows the unit to be
configured without the need of a computer. Or alternatively an
Ethernet port enables the unit to be configured remotely via web browser
without having to install any software.
